Description
L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif anti-adhésion d'un spiral sur un pont et plus particulièrement un spiral appartenant à un résonateur balancier - spiral.The invention relates to an anti-adhesion device of a balance spring on a bridge and more particularly a balance spring belonging to a balance resonator - balance spring.
Les matériaux isolants, tels que le silicium et ses composés, le quartz, le diamant, le verre, la céramique ou autres sont de plus en plus utilisés pour réaliser des pièces de micromécanique horlogère. Comme visible aux
Ce phénomène peut être aggravé par la contamination du pont 2 et/ou du spiral 7 par des impuretés ou du lubrifiant lors de la fabrication ou au porté, notamment lors de chocs. On comprend alors que des spires du spiral 7 peuvent adhérer au pont à cause des impuretés ou du lubrifiant, même si le spiral est électriquement conducteur.This phenomenon can be aggravated by the contamination of the

A cet effet, l'invention se rapporte à un mouvement horloger tel que défini dans la revendication indépendante 1. Des formes de réalisation préférées sont définies dans les revendications dépendantes.To this end, the invention relates to a horological movement as defined in
Par leur procédé de fabrication, les spiraux obtenus par gravage d'une plaquette de silicium ou de quartz, ont des faces particulièrement lisses propices aux adhésions. On comprend donc, avantageusement selon l'invention, que, grâce au dispositif anti-adhésion, les faces du spiral et du pont qui sont en vis-à-vis offre une surface potentielle d'adhésion qui est beaucoup plus limitée ce qui permet de limiter ces phénomènes.By their manufacturing process, the balance springs obtained by etching a silicon or quartz wafer have particularly smooth faces conducive to adhesions. It is therefore understood, advantageously according to the invention, that, thanks to the anti-adhesion device, the faces of the balance-spring and of the bridge which are facing each other offer a potential adhesion surface which is much more limited, which makes it possible to limit these phenomena.
De plus, l'invention se rapporte à une pièce d'horlogerie caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte un mouvement horloger selon l'une des variantes précédentes.In addition, the invention relates to a timepiece characterized in that it comprises a horological movement according to one of the preceding variants.
